Blue-Orange Mercenaries:Prologue, A story about a band of friends. Options

[ureniashtram]

The breeze outside the bar was cold, quiet and slightly melancholic. The city of cheydinhal was always like this, but the Cheydinhal Bridge Inn was not.

"Hey Lumpy, you gots any septim?" said a male dunmer with a pony-tail hair. Like any dunmer, this dunmer got fiery eyes, with his skin ashen gray. A leather cuirass on his torso, he had a rust dagger for protection. The rest of his attire was commoner clothes.

"What?! Lum-eep thought you were goin' to bring Emperor's coin, Damaren?" replied a rather stout argonian with an accusing tone. Unusuall for his race, this Betmer has a red skintone with brownish hue to it. Like his elven counterpart, Lumpy wore a leather cuirass over his clothes.

Damaren quickly stood up, rather annoyed that his argonian friend didnt bring any money, yelled;

"First of all it's called septims, and second with no money, that bouncer over there will have our asses thrown if we dont have any money to pay our bar tab-"

Suddenly he was lifted in the air by very muscular orc. The Orsimer wore a brown shirt, coupled with a plaid red pants. He wore leather boots, with an Iron mace strapped on to his waist.

"No money to pay your bar tabs again, Damy?" the orc's words were dripping with sarcasm, while malice shone on his eyes.

"Ummnn...n-no, m-me an-and my friend here are just discussing our mercenaries bar tabs, right Lumpy?" Damaren winked at Lupmy, while stummering in front of the orc.

"Mercernaries? I don't recall having a bunch of mercenaries 're." the orc wondered out loud, while scratching his chin in thought.

"Ummm, actually this isnt the place our allies visited." the dunmer answered. Damaren was known in Cheydinhal to be a fast-talker. In his youth, he fast-talked a guard to let him go because the guard caught him stealing.

He even fast-talked a merchant to giving him free wares, to the point that Damaren came back in his home with two sacks of armor and supplies. Until then, he was titled 'The Silver-Tongued Devil' by the citizens of Cheydinhal.

"Well if that's the case, can I join?" asked the orc. "This job is just boring every second. I've known you two with all my time here in Cheydinhal, and I know you will accept."

The duo just stared at him blankly, with Lumpy scratching his head in confusion.

"Well, to tell you the truth the men who had the bar tabs, were arrested for assault and disorderly conduct, so... Yeah, you can join Lugrub." the dunmer smiled an awkward smile.

"A band mercenaries, eh? This will be interesting, I guess Damaren has a good plan after all. Except for that day when we pretended we were jesters fo the Count of Skingrad only having us running for our lives when we discovered tha-"....

"Lumpy, prepare our supplies from our house, we are leaving for the Imperial City in one hour. Also buy us some weapons, here's the money."Damaren suddenly ordered. Lumpy irritated, replied with;

"By buying you mean stealing right?"

The Next Evening

--*--

"Ugh, finally the Roxey Inn. Let's stay here for night, men" Damaren said tiredly. Inside, the trio saw a female Nord chatting with an Imperial dressed in a full suit of Chainmail armor. As the trio headed for the Propietor of the establishment, the entrance of the Inn flew, and a dozen of Bandits entered.

"By the nine! Bandits! Run for your lives!" yelled a panicking Damaren. As the bandits spread out, five of them charged at the trio. Lumpy the argonian picked up a chair and throwed it at the nearest bandit, and while he was thrown backwards, his axe flew to the direction of Lumpy.

The argonian swiftly picked it up in mid-air and started swinging wildly at the bandit. Damaren, however, hid behind a table, shaking with fear. But when two of the bandits confronted him he became wild, picking up a bowl he smashed it on the bandit's face, but the other charged, mace swinging.

Damaren evaded a skull-crushing blow, but he knew that he would not last long. He searched for a weapon, anything that he could use to stall his opponent.

As the bandit grabbed him, a blade came out of his head.

"You gotta be more careful, mate." as the body fell limp Damaren saw the Imperial dressed in chainmail.

"Im Adellus" the Imperial smiled. The bandit who just got his face smashed alerted the other outlaws making it ten against four. The female nord hid below the counter crying in fear.

"Raagghh!" Lugrub roared as he threw a chair at the bandits direction. One of the bandits got impaled and screamed with agony. After that, the muscular orc picked up a table and swinged like a madman at the outlaws.

Lumpy also joined the fight and chopped at a Breton bandit, decapitating him on the process.

"Such ferocity, Argonian." remarked Adellus as he stabbed a Bosmer bandit. Lugrub broke the table he was wielding and grabbed a large broom. The bandits laughed, but those who got near Lugrub had their necks broken. This continued for a while.

After a short battle, the remaining bandits ran and said something about an ayleid ruin not far from the Inn.

"And don't you forget it!"roared Damaren arrogantly. Lugrub just shrugged and bent down to loot a bandit clad in Steel armor.

"Loot them and let's throw them outside, friends." Lumpy's voice was evidently tired.

As they looted the dead bandits, the Imperial sighed;

"Good ridance, I thought there will more of them. You handled yourself pretty impresive at the fight, lad. Let me guess..mercenaries?"

"Yep. We are the..the..Blue-O mercenaries, we are currently heading for the Imperial city, to recruit some more men, you wanna join the famous group of them all?" obviously this was a lie. The Blue-Orange mercenaries were just formed by a trio of no-good outcasts.


"Well, I'm currently longing for an adventure so, count me in." Adellus smiled proudly as if he winned a beautiful woman to marry. After minute or two of chatting,

Damaren fast-talked the owner of the inn for free use of the beds.

The owner thanked them for defending her Inn and asked if the group can help her get rid of a base of bandits they encountered.

"If we rested on top of free beds then consider it done, you ug- I mean beautiful nord." after the chit-chat the group headed upstairs and slept for the night.

Hmmnn...heres part 2.Hope you guys liked it.Also, sorry for the long delay.

(continued)Of Storms and Void: part 2A

"Hahaha, your weaker than I expected, demi-god! Now, taste the power of the Void!" yelled the Goddess, while gesturing some other-wordly hand signs. While the Goddess is doing this, Jureni felt an unknown energy gather around His enemy. Jureni even heard some unknown incantations yelled by the Goddess like

"Sa pangalan ni Sithis, bigyan ninyo ako ng kapangyarihan na durugin itong Ashkin!"

After the Goddess said this, her size became even more bigger, to the point that Jureni was like an ant compared to the Goddess.

"You do know that I'm an Elemental, right? I can also turn Myself to be a Giant!"

yelled Jureni to his immortal enemy. To the Goddess suprise, Jureni also became bigger and also stronger.

"This is gonna be even for a fist-fight."roared Jureni, with his voice dominating the Forbidden Halls Of The Void. Jureni threw his mighty fist, with enough force to shatter the Valus mountains into little pieces, to the unholy face of the Goddess. The Goddess ducked, and counterattacked with a bone-shattering kick directed to Jureni`s torso. The kick connected, and sent Jureni staggering backwards, after that the Goddess sent a wave of destructive energy upon the Elemental God, that sent him flying.

"Such is the Power of the Void.Do you not realise that nothing can defeat The Voids power? Join me, and I will further increase your...potential!"said the Goddess with a different voice that sounds like Jureni`s wife to the downed demi-god.

"You will pay for your mockery, n`wah, this time, You will see how an Ashtram unleash his full power!"said Jureni with the maelstrom of pure energy surrounding him became more unstable.

******meanwhile at the current day cyrodiil***

"I never knew you had magickal powers, Damaren." said Lumpy, while starring at the bodies of the dead bandits. While the group stared at each other, another group of bandits appeared and are running towards their direction. Damaren thought to himself a second

...this is gonna be easy, now that I have some unnatural powers...

With that he chuckled to himself a bit, and began focusing on how to unleash a force enough to push the bandits back hard. While he strecthed his hand at the direction of the bandits, a glow of blue energy exploded and was thrown at the rushing outlaws.

What followed that was unbelievable.

Some of bandits was missing a limb, feet, or their head. While some of them survived, most was either cut downed or had an arrow sticking to their heads.

"Again, that was brutal plain-and-simple.Your quite the frenzied mage, aren't ya. Where did you learned that?" joked Adellus, while pulling his longsword from a bandit's head. Damaren only replied with

"Believe me, I have no idea."

After a minute of walking, the group finally entered the ayeleid ruin .Lugrub entered first, followed by Lumpy and the others.

"Be cautious, there maybe a tr-" Lugrub was interrupted when four bandits appeared and tried to attack them with bows and swords. Lugrub swung his axe in a swift but strong motion, that decapitated the nearest unfortunate bandit. Lumpy evaded some blows and was saved by Adellus when the bandit tried to grapple the argonian. Damaren clenched his fist, and the two bow man was crushed as if a large boulder landed on them.

"I think Im getting the hang of this Elemental stuff."

chuckled Damaren as he continued to proceed deeper into the ruin. As he walked however, he saw three dozens of bandits prepared to kill them.

"Perhaps the life of that old man is filled with violence.Oh, well Im gonna try if my physical attributes are enhanced."

smiled Damaren as he rushed at the direction of the bandits. As he slammed through the shield of the bandits, a lightning bomb-like energy erupted, that sent some of the bandits flying like ragdolls. He threw a powerful punch at a Khajiit, with so force that the very ruin started to shake. His abillity to evade attacks was also enhanced, that he can evade eight blows a second. Adellus and the others was shocked at what they saw, bodies are strewn everywhere and the floor of the ruin is paved with blood.

"I wonder if He`s Pelinal Whitestrake reborn or something." said Lumpy with his expression of pure suprise.
